Take a Smile

Mission: Share this message and video to as many people as possible to recruit their help in spreading this positive initiative and join us on the 14th May giving smiles to promote friendly gestures between people who haven’t met in their city

Invite your friends and come join positive people in cities, towns and villages all across the World in giving the gift of a smile to as many people as possible, just because we want to add a little light into their day!

Last Sunday, I joined Andy to draw lots of smiles, and then we gave them out to everyone in Camden. We met simply to put some extra smiles in someone’s day! ..also, drawing is so much fun!I love drawing, so the moment i started to draw, I found it almost impossible to stop and therefore I lost track of time. Then I felt very shy when it was time for us to give the drawings out to people on the street. I was concerned that people might have felt uneasy when we approached them.Some people did walk passed, or didn’t respond to us.

We picked a spot to sit in the sun while we made and decorated some “Unisciti a Noi. Prendere Una Bolla” signs (Join us and Blow a Bubble signs (i hope). We then picked a spot where lots of people were passing, near the Verona Stadium (a cool Colosseum style ancient building)

Katerina’s idea to try Take a Smile outside the Immigration Office in Barcelona was a spark of genius! Many people came out of that building looking fed up, and we lifted their spirits by inviting them to take a smile. I’m sure there were also many who had recently arrived in the country, and its a lovely thought that we helped shape their first impressions in a positive way

It takes less than 5 mins to set up a Positive Action Activity, and less than 5 seconds to add some Positive Action into your day, so why does nearly everyone i meet say they are too busy? this is the biggest challenge we face at Focallocal

It still needs a little collective magic to make it work and you can be a part of making it happen, do you;

have friends in a city between Lyon and Berlin that would like to run an event with us on the 2nd Aug?have friends we can contact to run events and projects in Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia or Bulgaria?know any beautiful beachside or lakeside towns, or mountain villages en-route that my life would be complete if i visit to work from mid-week? Sprinkle some star dust on our trip to change the World and bring people and local commuities closer together, everywhere! (click for larger image)

The money was clearly gone (although I have spent many, many hours searching every corner of the van), and complaining about it wasn’t going to solve anything, so we headed out to meet our friend in Paris, the lovely Dora, who is probably the most enthusiastic and permanently happy person i’ve ever met..

Take a smile:) its simple right? But people can’t believe that someone is doing this just to make others feel better. So when you are passing and you see people with big poster saying “TAKE A SMILE” who ask you to take one, what do you do? Smile, right? It’s so simple and easy.
